Honest Critiques
No, I mean it. REAL honest. Email your excerpts or full stories, up to 1000 words or so, to honestcrits [at] yahoo [dot] co [dot] uk. Synopses would also be welcome. My backlog is so daunting now that I recommend not submitting anything you are not prepared to wait a couple of months for a response on.

Number One Fan
Hello there.
This is the condensed version, as I am in an internet cafe and paying through the nose for the bandwidth. Couple of weeks back the fan that cools my computer's CPU wheezed fatally to a stop, and required replacing. I've only just managed to retrieve or reset all my various passwords - getting into my email has been an absolute pain in the Rumsfeld - so can post for the first time in ages. Tomorrow, with any luck, I get the PC back from the shop and will poke about to see if all my data's intact. Here's hoping...

yikes, that sucks. hope everything's ok. It should be as long as it was just a cooling fan. Hope everything else is ok as well.
He's ALIVE!
Those sound wonderful...I'm still E-mailing myself revisions of my novel, so I can access it anywhere if my computer breaks down.
Practical question: if we've sent stuff in, and changed/improved it quite a bit since we did, can we re-send it?
sorry your computer is under the weather, but woohoo you live! we happy!
Ah, Torgo, the delights of modern technology.
Yipeee!!! You ARE alive!!!The prodigious son returns! The Easter Island thingy got mad again and took a hike!
Elektra, flash drives are definitely the way to go! Try Circuit City or Radio Shack!

Hey, lookee there, he's back.
Elektra, I just found out you're 19. Good for you, making such progress at that wonderful age.
Welcome back, Torgo. I'd suggest a new computer. Bonnie, apparently, has some money she might share?

What's a... Torgo?
Thanks, Diana; I've been thinking, hough, since that post on Miss Snark's blog--writing when you're young is nothing. I've no responsibilities outside of class. It's the moms with three kids and a house to run who can still find time to write that impress me.
I'll fly over and hold a desk fan to your CPU if it means you'll come back to us
I'll channel my inner Spaniard and wave a few fans, flamenco style.
I'll dance naked and flap my hands.
I hope to hear the puter is going to be OK - Hate it when they sputter out like that.
Loved that last marketing post and have been popping in to see if there were any more (hopeful voice - can you hear it?)

Torgo,
When you're back online, I would be interested in hearing your perspective about the controversary surrounding James Frey's book, "A Million Little Pieces."
